'Jeopardy!': LeVar Burton's Hosting Stint Wraps, and Fans Are Weighing In

"Great job to @levarburton!" one viewer wrote. "He taught a generation to love books and is reminding us to love knowledge and always be curious; encouraging our right answers every step of the way."
"Can we keep him? Please?" a second fan tweeted. "It was the best week of hosting and you could tell there was a connection between Levar and all the contestants."
"Now make him the permanent host!" a third viewer wrote. "He killed it, you know it, the fans all want it, what's the delay? Just do it already!!!"
A more negative person wrote, "Probably one of my least favorite guest hosts so far. His hosting style was more a kin to something you'd expect on Nickelodeon rather than Jeopardy! It's too bad because I really was looking forward to his hosting but the yelling and overly excited style was way off."
"[Levar Burton] deserves another chance, when he doesn't have a runaway contestant all week long," another person wrote. "It would have been difficult for anyone to deal with Matt's unusual style & complete owning of the game each night. I thought he did a wonderful job, given these constraints."
"Such a phenomenal host! Honestly hadn't tuned in in a while, but committed to watch this week," a fan on the more positive side of things wrote. "There's a few generations of people who are getting excited about Jeopardy because of what's possible with Mr. Burton. I'm locked in!"
